Detailed Curriculum Module 1: Infrastructure and Capacity Planning for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 This module provides the high level information that is required for an administrator to perform sizing for an instance of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. To perform this sizing, an administrator must combine his or her understanding of the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 architecture, and the performance characteristics with relevant information on how Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 will be used. In this module, you learn the fundamentals of the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 system architecture. Sizing guidelines and benchmarks are included to use as references.
Additionally, the guidelines and benchmarks are provided with a sample set of questions to ask a company that relate to performance. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Architecture Review Sizing Questions Hardware Sizing Resources Moving from Theory to Practice Review the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 system architecture. Explore the frequently asked questions when sizing hardware. Describe the performance benchmarks to use when planning for performance. Module 2: Configuration Best Practices This module discusses many of the settings that affect the performance of Microsoft SQL Server 2012, the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 client, and the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Application Object Server (AOS). This module also describes how to create maintenance plans so that the database continues to run more efficiently. SQL Server Configuration Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Settings Design Effective SQL Server Maintenance Plans Lab : Verify Settings Verify Breakpoints are Turned Off in Production. Lab : Database Maintenance Set up a nightly maintenance plan to perform a full backup of the production Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Database.
Configure the SQL Server to improve the performance of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. Configure Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 specific settings to improve performance. Create the SQL Server maintenance plans to minimize index fragmentation, update statistics, and perform backups. Module 3: Database Design Considerations This module describes design techniques that can improve database performance in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. Create and Maintain Database Objects Data Types Table Caching Table Inheritance Temporary Tables Indexing Concurrency Control Data Compression Lab : Table Caching Evaluate table design structure in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 to improve performance. Describe how Table Inheritance is used. Review the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 database caching feature. Evaluate the different types of Temporary Tables. Describe Concurrency Control options. Optimize the index design in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. Setup data compression options for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 to improve performance.
Module 4: X++ SQL Code Best Practices This module discusses the two primary ways to make a single query run faster index tuning and query tuning. Index tuning improves a query s performance by adding indexes, and query tuning improves a query s performance by rewriting the query. Index Tuning Query Tuning Lab : Index Tuning Lab : Query Tuning Review how to add indexes to improve performance. Review how to modify a query in Microsoft Dynamics AX to improve performance. Module 5: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 X++ Coding for Performance Best Practices In this module, you will learn the common performance design patterns and the correct code placement when you develop customizations for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. You will learn how to develop batch jobs and consider tasks with parallelism, and you will also explore the techniques to use to limit client-side running code on forms. Development Practices to Do and Not Do Code Placement Batching and Batch Strategies Form Considerations Response Time Expectations Explain the performance design patterns to follow when you make customizations to the application. Learn the correct placement of X++ code to limit client/server interactions.
Use the SysOperation Framework to create asynchronous operations. Review the batch parallelism approaches to maximize batch server resources and response time. Examine the performance effects of client-side code on forms. Module 6: Post-Implementation: Monitoring and Performance This module describes how to monitor and tune the performance of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. Performance Tuning Approach Locking, Blocking, and Deadlocks SQL Server Reporting Services and Enterprise Portal Performance Tuning Performance Analyzer for Microsoft Dynamics AX (DynamicsPerf) Microsoft Dynamics AX Trace Parser Microsoft Dynamics AX Diagnostic Framework (Beta) Windows Performance Monitor (PerfMon) Other Tools Tools to be Cautious About CIL Lab : Trace Parser Discuss the approach to performance tuning. Review identifying locking and blocking. Explain the SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) Performance. Explain the Enterprise Portal Performance. Set up the Performance Analyzer. Use the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Trace Parser. Review the Microsoft Dynamics AX Diagnostic Framework. Review the SCOM Pack. Discuss Windows System Monitor. Review additional performance tools.

Skills Development Workshop Communication is something which all of us do from the very first day of our life, yet there is a question that haunts us most of the time Did I express myself correctly in such and such situation? The answer to this question is really tricky, because in some cases we leave our signatures and good impression but in some others we even fail to get our idea clearly. It happens mostly because we don t know how to act in certain situations. Every time we fail we don t lose completely, we do learn something, but prior knowledge of the same thing could be more beneficial because then we could have turned that failure into success. The course / workshop would focus at many aspects of personality, like: Building positive relationships with peers & seniors Building self-confidence & Developing clear communication skills Exploring and working on factors that help or hinder effective interpersonal communication Learning impacts of non-verbal behavior & Dealing with difficult situations and difficult people Workshops Consists of Following Activities: Personality Development Group Discussions & Debates Seminars & Presentations Case Studies & Analysis Corporate Communication Development HR & Interview Skills Management Games & Simulations Aptitude, Logical & Reasoning Assessments & Development
